Chocolate Cherry Cake
- 15 oz chocolate cake mix
- 21 oz can cherry pie filling
- 2 eggs
Chocolate Frosting
- 6 TBSP butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips 2 cups
Preheat oven. Spray a 13×9 pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour and set aside. {If you’re opting for a fancier presentation, use a 10" spring form pan like I did. It works beautifully!}
In large bowl, combine cake mix, cherry pie filling and eggs. Stir together with large spoon or rubber spatula. (Do not use a mixer; it will break up the cherries).
Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350-degrees 30 to 40 minutes, or until cake is set.
While cake is almost out of the oven, combine sugar, butter and milk in large saucepan.
Bring to a boil, and then boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. {I like a thicker frosting, so I boiled mine for 2-3 minutes.}
Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir with a wire whisk until the chips are melted and frosting is smooth.
Pour over warm cake and spread to cover. Let cool on wire rack before serving. 16 servings.
